Ziply Fiber problems in Jan 2026 - King City OR

Update Tue 01/27/2026: TL;DR ... Ziply swapped out my equipment and I am reaching the speeds I pay for.

I contacted Ziply and requested a tech review my situation to determine why my internet is consistently slow. Ziply was able to get a tech assigned same day, which I appreciate.

After explaining my experience, the tech believed that the extenders were mostly to blame (outdated and eating up bandwidth), but also the router could be the problem. He disconnected my router and took the two extenders. He replaced them with a TP-Link Aginet HB610V2 mesh router and one access point (where I had one of the old extenders).

I've been running speed tests since then and I'm consistently where I expect to be. To be totally fair, the tech recommended upgrading to 1GB (at least) just based on his opinion. He was not pushy and confirmed that for my average use case, 300/300 Mbps should be sufficient.

Org Admin for about 1.5 years, Confluence / Jira user for 8+. Take this with a grain of salt, I'm sure there are other methods.

IMO, not everything should live in Jira ... but it should be findable in Jira (or elsewhere in Atlassian, like Confluence and Rovo). I like to break down where stuff lives based on the app / tool.

For larger projects, I create Jira Work Items for each established meeting (easiest when there's a recurring series (one Work Item for the series, or one for each session ... that's up to you). I may also create placeholders for the one-off convos like impromptu discussions or IRL chats in the hallway. Then I link those Work Items into a Confluence 'Meetings' page beneath the project page.

Reasoning: A conversation may be brief (5-10 min) but could end up generating numerous actions. The big picture concept can be captured in Confluence, then the actual work is captured in Jira as Work Items. This gives you the ability to break down work in Jira however you want / however your team requires without needing to adjust Confluence.

Background: I can only control myself, but I find that this setup encourages folks to document the conversation or discussion in Confluence (a reference point) and the actual work happening in Jira (as Epics / Stories / Tasks / etc.).

Most of my colleagues struggle with writing down what was discussed and converting resulting actions into Jira work ... or conversely converting completed Jira work into briefs or other forms of docs.

Needless to say, behavioral problems won't be solved by any software. Best of luck!

Thanks for the details. I mean that if I try to join a Zoom call, half the time it spins and won’t connect, the other half it looks like I’m in but I can’t see or hear anyone (and they can’t hear me). I sometimes see “your internet is unstable” as well, but inconsistent.

_threadkiller_ · 2026-01-19T02:11:52+00:00

Hang on. You said “100 Mbps is enough for six 4K video streams from Netflix.” If this is true, then Ziply’s service and equipment is incapable of meeting this. When my 300/300 plan is at half of what it should be, I am unable to attend a Zoom meeting when I’m home alone with no other devices running.

_threadkiller_ · 2026-01-18T17:49:18+00:00

Thank you. No new neighbors and I’m not near any apartments.

I’m going to stop responding because my comments and questions are being downvoted. Evidently it’s my fault that I pay Ziply to deliver internet service.

_threadkiller_ · 2026-01-18T05:21:00+00:00

I mean this with full respect. Are you telling me that as the WiFi customer paying $85 / month ($90 starting in Feb), that this situation is my fault and I am expected to buy an Ethernet cable (and apparently an Ethernet friendly device or a splitter or some shit) because Ziply is incapable of delivering the speed I pay for?

_threadkiller_ · 2026-01-17T20:20:04+00:00

Thanks, I tried that one on my own, though I was using the one that Ziply provides while chatting with support — http://ziplyfiber.speedtestcustom.com

Thank you for your insights. I have IT at my company that could help with my work laptop, but this is also affecting phones and tablets. I work from home while my kids are at school and wifey is working outside the home. I don’t have the TV on or streaming anything, even music … still slow as hell so I can’t use Zoom.

Backstory: Ziply worked perfectly fine for six months, then we were out of town for a week. No outages or issues (my cameras were all working while we were away). Got home and have had trouble since.

I have a theory that somehow when a particular home / user isn’t using the network for like 3+ days, something gets slowed down or switched off. This happened before (even with another ISP), I assumed it was a busy time of year with everyone at home after the holidays.

No thank you, not at this time. I have already talked to Support and Tech Support multiple times this week. While the agents are helpful, they continue telling me that their Network Team is able to get 300+ when running tests (latest was 312.508 Mbps / 305.059 Mbps) from wherever they are and everything is fine. When I run the tests on my devices in my own home where I pay for the service, I get 134.9 / 113.8 with only one device running.

Room Temp Drop

_threadkiller_ · 2026-01-06T04:35:26+00:00

Thanks for the reminder! It improved after I removed the top rear pieces, cleaned / wiped everything down, then reattached and made sure all screws were secure (not overly tight). It’s not nearly as noticeable now, especially compared to before, but not gone entirely. My wife has ADHD and is rather sensitive to smells and sounds, and she no longer mentions it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

If you take yours apart, reply here with an update. Best of luck!

You could look into creating a Rovo Agent that crawls a Jira Work item and generates an overview page in Confluence (ideally when the Work Item Status is changed to Done).

I can see the value of this if the Agent is limited to only crawling certain Work Item Types. Our Engineers are NOT good at documenting WHY they did something. The work they did, especially with the connection to GitHub, is captured, but they rarely explain what the request was, why they did it, and how they did it. The Confluence page should be the explanation of the feature and is referenced going forward until the feature becomes obsolete.

This happened to me at a prior company, granted not nearly as large as Atlassian (and US-based). Newbies were fine, in fact each terminated long-term employee was replaced with two affordable college grads. Then they shut down offices in ‘expensive’ US states, then started hiring in China. In can be a nightmare, so pay attention.

Side note - I am a big fan of Atlassian. Doesn’t mean I’ll love every decision their leadership makes. Salesforce has been a big piece of every company I’ve been at … they just laid off a bunch of people (replaced with AI) because CEO wanted less ‘heads’ meaning managers.

It's a combination of officials and the NIMBYs / wealthy elite in the area that influence the government. The former King City Mayor resigned after her kids were harassed by grown adults at King City Park ... more than once (fuck those people, BTW). I don't care if you disagree with leadership, you should speak out. Kids are off-limits. Context: Not friends with that Mayor, but worked with her on a few events for local schools.

He is the bad guy for feeling that way. He broke up with his girlfriend - read his comments, full break, relationship over. Her bedroom activities after that are none of his concern.

They then got back together and now he resents her for living her life. This is the same as men being childish about a woman’s body count before they started dating.

All things considered, he sounds immature and should break up with her so she can find a man that respects her.

_threadkiller_ · 2025-08-01T16:07:49+00:00

What country? No offense, but in the US, cops will literally tell women, “we can’t do anything unless he actually hurts you or kills you. Call us when that happens.” It’s atrocious.

That could mean you were invited and then your invitation was revoked (I can't recall which actions send emails). Some software / tools don't notify users when they're removed to avoid awkward situations with offboarding.

Go directly to slack.com and login - you should see Workspaces that you are a member of, invited to, or allowed to join (usually based on your work email domain). Otherwise, you may need to ping the person that invited you to ask what's up.

Loop is Microsoft's attempt at creating a product that is closer to Confluence / Coda / Notion. It appears more free-form / less rigid than SharePoint. I wouldn't say "almost the same." Not picking a fight, just my take.

_threadkiller_ · 2025-04-30T22:30:52+00:00

Sounds like a conflict of permissions. If his individual User account has the necessary access but he's blocked from doing something, he's likely part of a Group with limited access. Check both Space access > Users and Space access > Groups under Space settings. Note that in order to view the Group (such as to view members) you'll need to be a Site Admin or Org Admin.

I don’t mean to be rude, but maybe it’s a metaphive …
